Summary
- Masked robbers stole $1.7 million in gold and diamonds.
- The heist at Kumar Jewellers lasted only 70 seconds.

Surveillance footage released by the U.S. Department of Justice captures a shocking ₹16 crore ($1.7 million) robbery at Kumar Jewellers. The incident, which took place in June 2025, saw a group of approximately 20 masked suspects storm the Fremont store. In just 70 seconds, they smashed display cases and absconded with a significant portion of the store's gold and diamond inventory.
The robbers arrived in multiple stolen vehicles, complicating identification efforts. Police pursued one of the suspect vehicles, a black Acura, through Fremont's residential streets at high speeds. Authorities later apprehended four suspects, all around 19-20 years old at the time of the crime, though two have since been released.
The investigation by federal prosecutors is still underway as authorities work to identify and apprehend all individuals involved in the swift and audacious heist.
